SUMMARY:
Approval of the three (3) Agreements for Purchase of Property and recording of the related deeds will complete three (3) of four (4) properties that are necessary Right-of-way for the State Route 68 / Corral de Tierra Intersection Improvement project. The total area is approximately 3,126 square feet (Tuttle - 910 sq. ft., Antle - 810 sq. ft., and Carranza - 1,406 sq. ft.).
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of the State Route 68 / Corral de Tierra Road Intersection Improvements project is to improve traffic flow at said intersection. The project is to construct a second left-turn lane onto southbound Corral de Tierra Rd from westbound State Route 68. The project is also to construct a merge lane on southbound Corral de Tierra Rd to receive the second left-turn lane.
The Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC) has an ongoing corridor study on State Route 68. The corridor study will evaluate the route and make recommendations in terms of roundabout versus signalization at certain key intersections, i.e. Corral de Tierra Road intersection. Staff, in cooperation with the State Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and TAMC have determined to complete the study prior to proceeding with the construction of this project. Doing this will allow the agencies involved to further develop the current project scope as it would relate to the corridor study.
The properties will provide the necessary road right-of-way for the current proposed signalization project. The total area from the three (3) properties is approximately 3,126 square feet (Tuttle - 910 sq. ft., Antle - 810 sq. ft., and Carranza - 1,406 sq. ft.). If the corridor study recommends a roundabout for this intersection, additional right-of-way may be needed.
Bender Rosenthal, Inc. performed the appraisal in April 2016 and conducted the right-of-way negotiation for the three (3) properties. The amount for the three (3) properties are as follows: Thomas Tuttle and Nancy Tuttle, Trustees of The Tuttle Family Trust dated May 7, 2002 (APN 161-251-016) in the amount of $8,219; Charles G. Carranza, Elvia Hilts, and Andre Carranza, Successor Trustees of The Carranza Family Trust dated February 29, 2012 (APN 161-254-015) in the amount of $10,900; and Antle Capital II, LLC, and Mike V.
